The subject matter of the application generally relates to a lens module.
Electronic devices, such as mobile phones, tablet computers or cameras, may have lens modules. The lens module includes at least one lens. An error or a defect of the lens causes flare on the image. Thus, at least one light-shielding sheet is needed to avoid the glare. The light-shielding sheet may be installed in the lens module through a fixing component. If an outer diameter of the light-shielding sheet is too large, the light-shielding sheet is easily folded. Thus, a space is generated between the light-shielding sheet and the fixing component, which causes the light shielding sheet to be unstably installed in the lens module. The light-shielding sheet is shifted, which causes line glare on the image.
Therefore, there is room for improvement in the art.
Implementations of the present disclosure will now be described, by way of embodiments, with reference to the attached figures.
It will be appreciated that for simplicity and clarity of illustration, where appropriate, reference numerals have been repeated among the different figures to indicate corresponding or analogous elements. In addition, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale, and the proportions of certain portions may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.
The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings, in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean “at least one.”
The term “comprising” when utilized, means “including, but not necessarily limited to”; it specifically indicates open-ended inclusion or membership in the so-described combination, group, series, and the like.
The lens group 20, the filter 30, and the sensor 40 are sequentially arranged from an object side of the lens module 100 to an image side of the lens module 100. The lens group 20 is fixed in the lens cone 10. The filter 30 is formed on the sensor 40 and faces the lens group 20. The sensor 40 faces the lens group 20, too.
The lens group 20 includes a plurality of lenses arranged successively from an object side of the lens module 100 to an image side of the lens module 100. The gasket 50 is formed between two adjacent lenses of the lens group 20 from the image side to the object side. The stopper 60 is formed behind one of the plurality of lenses on the image side and fixed in the lens cone 10 to stop the lens group 20 from sliding out of the lens cone 10. The light-shielding sheet group 70 includes a plurality of light-shielding sheets. Some of the plurality of light-shielding sheets are respectively embedded between each adjacent two lenses of the plurality of lenses, and last one of the plurality of light-shielding sheets from the object side to the image side is formed between a penultimate lens of the plurality of lenses from the object side to the image and the gasket 50.
In at least one embodiment, the lens group 20 includes a first lens 21, a second lens 22, a third lens 24, and a fourth lens 25. The first lens 21, the second lens 22, the third lens 24, and the fourth lens 25 are sequentially mounted in the lens cone 10 from the object side to the image side.
In at least one embodiment, the gasket 50 is formed between the third lens 24 and the fourth lens 25 to maintain an air gap between the third lens 24 and the fourth lens 25. An inner hole 53 is defined in a middle of the gasket 50. The inner hole 53 transmits light. The inner hole 53 has an aperture that increases progressively from the object side to the image side.
In at least one embodiment, the stopper 60 is closed to the fourth lens 25 and fixed in the lens cone 10 to stop the lens group 20 from sliding out of the lens barrel 10. A size of an outer diameter of the stopper 60 matches that of the inner wall of the lens cone 10 to meet a size of an air gap of the optical design.
In at least one embodiment, the light-shielding sheet group 70 includes a first light-shielding sheet 71, a second light-shielding sheet 72, and a third light-shielding sheet 74. The first light-shielding sheet 71, the second light-shielding sheet 72, and the third light-shielding sheet 74 are sequentially mounted in the lens cone 10 from the object side to the image side. The first light-shielding sheet 71 is mounted between the first lens 21 and the second lens 22. The second light-shielding sheet 72 is mounted between the second lens 22 and the third lens 24. The third light-shielding sheet 74 is mounted between the third lens 24 and the gasket 50.

In at least one embodiment, the D1 and D2 satisfy a following relationship: 0.01 mm<D2−D1<0.02 mm. Furthermore, D2=4.022 mm, D1=4.005 mm.
In other embodiments, the number of lenses of the lens group 20 is not limited to four, and the number of the light shielding sheets is not limited to three, as long as a difference value between an inner diameter of the lens cone corresponding to one of the light shielding sheets arranged on the image side and an outer diameter of the light shielding sheet arranged on the image side is greater than 0.01 mm and less than 0.02 mm.
In at least one embodiment, materials of the first light-shielding sheet 71, the second light-shielding sheet 72, and the third light-shielding sheet 74 are a Soma light-shielding material.
Referring to
With the embodiments described above, the lens module 100 has a difference value between an inner diameter of the lens cone corresponding to a first light shielding sheets arranged from the image side to the object side and an outer diameter of the first light shielding sheets arranged from the object side to the image side that is greater than 0.01 mm and less than 0.02 mm to prevent light-shielding sheet from being folded and make the light shielding sheet be stably installed in the lens module, thereby improving image quality of the lens module.
